That’s the date on which Expansys, one of the leading independent online electronics retailers in the UK, will start shipping both the Salsa and the ChaCha.

Unfortunately, other than the aforementioned release date, we have no more details about the HTC Salsa and ChaCha at the moment. There’s no price listed yet on Expansys for either device, so that’s surely still being thought of by HTC at this point. Of course, even so, you can take the plunge and pre-order either phone right now from Expansys, if you’re into taking risks. We’ll let you know as soon as pricing information has been made available.

The HTC Salsa is a full-touchscreen device, having a 3.4-inch screen with 480×320 resolution, a 5-megapixel camera with flash, a 600 MHz processor, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, 512 MB of internal space expandable via a microSD card slot, and it will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

The HTC ChaCha is a QWERTY candybar that also has a touchscreen, this time only 2.6 inches in size, with the same 480×320 resolution as the Salsa (although in landscape mode here). Not much else is different about these two devices though, as the ChaCha also has a 600 MHz processor, a 5-megapixel camera, a VGA front-facing camera, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, and 512 MB of internal memory expandable via a microSD card slot. It will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread as well.
